Veterans Day

Freedom is never Free. On this special day we commemorate those individuals who fight for our country to ensure our nation's freedom.





To kick off Veterans Day weekend, Miss Orem Teen, Miss Provo and myself took part in Mountain View Highschool's Freedom Assembly.

We sang God Bless the USA. A song that I have loved to sing since my elementary school days.





We dressed to match with navy dresses and red lips. Miss Provo, Kaiti Purse is becoming into a good friend of mine! But how could I not love my Sister City?




Then today at the Orem Cemetery I gathered with the City Council to celebrate this blessed day.












It was a beautiful service! Not even the chilling of the bitter cold could damper our spirits.




 Today is a day to look for the brave who stand for our country.
Please take the time to find a Veteran and ask them to tell you their story.
We heard the story of Sgt. Long today, and in listening to his inspiring words it helped remind me to be a citizen who stands proud of my nation and thankful for those fighting for our country.
